If you're using a screenshot you can literally take a screenshot on whatever device you're using to create the mockup graphic OR use this free tool to create see what a website would look like on any tech device – this is particularly helpful if you don't own a particular device like an iPad, but you want to showcase your website or download on an iPad graphic.
